Big tent

A big tent or catch-all party is a political party that advocates multiple ideologies and views with the goal of expanding its electorate. The conservative US Republican Party in the United States branded itself as a "big tent" party due to its ability to unite laborers and big business, while the Democratic Party also branded itself as a "big tent" party due to its ability to unite Dixiecrats, progressives, and labor unions in support of the New Deal despite profound disagreements on other issues such as desegregation.
